I've also noticed that you can have more desktops than available
function keys. However, you have to use the switch user menu, to
do that.
VirtualTerminals (VT's) and desktops are not one and the same. They
have nothing to do with "switch user menu".
Well, they're both on the switch user menu on my copy of SUSE 10 &
KDE. Try starting up a few desktops and text consoles. Then click on
Switch User to see all the listed sessions and tell me what you see.
Also, a new desktop will not start on vt10. The next new desktop
after vt9 will be on vt11.
I currently have ten desktops defined as shown on the bottom bar and
one VT session shown as vt7: on the switch user menu. Yes, each vt:
session can have it's own settings and desktops but I still say that a
desktop does not equal a vt session.
I'm not referring to the multiple copies of the desktop that can be set
up in Linux. I'm referring to the separate login desktops, which can be
on the same computer or remote to another. That is the ones you switch
between, using the CTL-ALT-Fn combinations.
That's where I am messed up, I always knew of them as being called
virtual consoles that you access using ctrl-alt-Fn. A desktop can
contain many program windows whereas a console can only contain text.
And VT's are graphical login sessions.
KDE seems to call them all vt's (from my Switch User menu):
[x]leen: kde (:0, vt7)
root: TTY login (vt2)
But lo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console
<q>virtual console (VC, sometimes virtual terminal, VT)</q>
Cheers,
Leen
